I legit want to look out for my boy jake but looking out for that poor fella often costs me too many points elsewhere. If I could figure out a way to advance Jake and keep zach where he's at or lower, that would be ideal
On my K1 playthrough I refused every sponsorship that was offered to me, because if I die - I die, but I will not willingly serve those bitches. One moment of defiance in an otherwise completely irredeemable stupid sack of shit looser that is K1 Kane. So yeah, fuck them. And fuck Jake too for being a friend to such a worthless meatbag. Hopefully everyone will die painfully in this playthrough.
There was a decision to boost Zach's morale with the idea that they would evaluate the pod as a whole, but it is useless for now. There's the possibility of betraying them all in the games, with Kane taking off or going down alone, so those decisions don't matter much.
It's amazing how well written this game is and how much depth it has...
I came in just expecting just pretty renders and to skip 80% of dialogue...
I haven't skipped a single line of reading in my two different saves / playthroughs now.
Very engaging and interesting story premise and worldbuilding, and character development arcs!
Really looking forward to more!
For now, it's not really my thing, but I think I might try a pure sub path of some sort (not secret sub path).
It seems there's a completely different experience to be had, so I might check it out! Would be interesting to see what could have been had I made different choices.

Yeah I was sad that I didn't see much Samantha and Delilah in my playthroughs, but a quick glance through the walkthroughs makes it seem like I'll be running into them and some others that I haven't met yet through the sub path more often maybe... Although I'm not really sure if I'll enjoy a sub route or what they might do to me haha, but we'll see! I'll start a sub playthrough this weekend, or sooner

Well I've done them but only get more lore/story information. They are definitely not my thing but yes, Delilah has more content on the sub routes for sure.

sub routes and dom routes will have many characters open to paths but some characters specifically will be only available to a certain playstyle… Delilah will have a secondary romance path for dom Kane, but will have a main sub route… stuff like that is important to take note as well!… tho miss Tess said this:
there’s a whole bunch of other factors, like world states, factions… so without going down the rabbit hole… there’s a lot… lmao

Yeah, it's sooo crazy to me how deep this story goes and the paths go, and how many choices there are and how most actually matter and change the story so much... All the while, it's actually very well written and very engaging! Definitely not a theme-type for me (usually not into S&M stuff, which is why it took me so long to finally get around to giving this a shot, and the only regret I have is not giving it a chance sooner), and yet I'm hooked and this has already become one of my favorite AVNs of all time...
That's very useful info, thank you. I will definitely keep two more different playthroughs I think. A lot easier now that I'm using the walkthroughs fully to navigate through some parts.
Currently I have these routes completed:
K9 Dom (Good Kane / Olivia)
Secret Sub Dom (Good Kane / Olivia)
Currently planning to work on or have started:
Evil Kane / Olivia
Dom Olivia / Mid-High Rank Sub Kane
Low Rank Kane (as low as I can push the rank XD)

Just a little update while I am having some early lunch/late brunch... I have started the dom poll set -- this office is another fairly rough asset with lighting/glass/reflections but I don't really like many office assets for Daz to be honest. I expect to have this set out on the same day as the update (Sunday my time) and will try to make it about 30ish renders too.
I have gotten permission from Mistress Anais to share a bit more about her stuff as she finally has purchased her new computer! It should be arriving in a week or so! I have been proud of her for disagreeing with me about some suggestions and telling me to basically let her do things her way! We had a healthy debate about her plan, but this is kind of a rough idea of how it may start.
She will likely at the start/demo episode have THREE origin choices for the male protagonist, and two of them will come with a girlfriend you can kind of be with at the start. (you will see her picture and bit of info on her, etc.) One origin path will be solo. The origin paths will allow the player to have some basic strengths/weaknesses at the start and how it may initially be easy/hard for certain things/people in different ways once the three origins "merge" to the main story. She wanted me to be sure and mention that no true content is locked off (other than each origin start itself) in the game based on this choice early but it would have alternative dialogue at times, etc.
Update sizes: Between 600-800 renders every three months, she wants to do the demo/origins episode at about 900 renders. (300 each one). Please read her announcement channel for more info on the game itself, this is beyond the scope of what I want to write. But the game is technically in what she calls the Karlssonverse (heh) and will take place approximately 250 years after the end of Karlsson's Gambit. Humanity will be scattered in the solar system and there will be other galactic civilizations as well. After speaking with her and reading her outline, I will repeat that at least 1, and possibly three characters can survive KG and somehow be relevant in this new game. However, the protagonist is new and there will be very important new characters, etc. So while there will be some tie to the past, it's more about the future.
I have also said and will repeat that someday another femdom game will take place on a specific planet in this universe, so it will be known in her game but not highlighted much other than one major character/LI being from there.
WRITERS: After speaking with Anais, I agreed with her on the three best people to contact soon. I will likely do this within a week, and have more detailed questions. I did receive over 25 fairly serious contacts about this specific role, so please keep in mind a few things: I was very specifically looking for someone to help shore up my own weaknesses as a writer and I am pretty sure I know where I am fairly poor versus good, etc. So I did find some great writers I would love in normal circumstances, but I am looking for something very specific to help her based on what I know about myself (both in terms of time but especially talent). I am even outright saying that I kind of think it's possible the person we use is actually not the best overall writer I saw in pure talent/skill, but rather the best writer for the specific metrics/tasks desired. A visual novel/adult game is more dialogue heavy and character driven so for example a great screenwriter is probably better more often than not than a great novelist (prose/style very different).
This is already way too long, but I will let her go from here. But I have crossed 800 renders and plugging away, hoping for a good weekend to close out a decent week. As always, doing a 30 render poll does cause a bit of a lower render count in the game for that given week. Thanks all!

I think Tess is one of the few devs who are fast working, i mean, i´m noticing in each post an increase of the renders so fast, i think i don´t see this in many other games.

I wonder what this performance boost is related to... AFAIR, in one of the previous devlogs Tess said that she was planning (together with Anais) to upgrade her hardware in April, in particular to buy a new 4090 RTX. But so far, apparently Tess hasn't done that, but still continues to work at a decent pace.
